What is LDA? Chartered in 1964 by a group of concerned parents, the Association for Children with Learning Disabilities was formed on behalf of children with learning disabilities. Now known as the Learning Disabilities Association of America. The association has over 50,000 members and state chapters in all 50 states. The association serves parents, professionals, and adults with learning disabilities.
What are LDA's goals? Learning disabilities occur in many forms... visual, auditory, motor control, communication, logic, etc. Effective correction must include a total approach to the educational, physiological, psychological, and medical needs of the child. LDA believes in the interdisciplinary approach to these major goals: ENCOURAGE research in neuro-physiological aspects of Learning Disabilities. STIMULATE development of early detection programs. CREATE a climate of public awareness and acceptance. DISSEMINATE information widely. SERVE as an advocate. DEVELOP and PROMOTE legislative assistance. IMPROVE regular and special education.
